Abstract
A clamp particularly suitable for use in removably and adjustably suspending cabinet units from the support rails of counters and other worktops. The clamp has upper and lower jaw members joined by a generally vertical adjustment screw. Each jaw member has a bearing portion at one end that engages a similar bearing portion of the other jaw member when the two members are drawn together by the screw. At their opposite ends, the jaw members are provided with clamping ribs and, because of the greater length of the lower jaw member, the clamping rib of that member is spaced outwardly or distally beyond the clamping rib of the upper jaw member. A retention rib, engagable with the flange of a cabinet unit to be suspended from a support rail, is provided by the lower jaw member to limit forward-rearward movement of the cabinet unit without restraining lateral movement thereof when the screw is only partially tightened.
